🎈Thrilled to share my first ever solo author work🎈

In this chapter I uncover the relationship between social media, political polarization, and their downstream effects on political censorship.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Rebekah Tromble @rebekahtromble.bsky.social · Apr 18

NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

New Paper out! Ever wondered whether AI generated news can reduce perceptions of bias? We find news developed by AI may reduce media consumers hostile media perceptions.
